You`re doing nothing all the day. No, I don`t never do nothing.
You is loafin` on the levee. Yeah!
Was you born that way? Yeah, I was born just like I is now, just like I is.
I know, but you is lazy! Yeah.
Just look at you,
You just natu`lly lazy. Yeah, I`m lazy!
Sitting there watching them muddy waters play. Yeah.
`Cause you`re heart`s never heavy. Oh, no.
Tell me, boy, was you born that way? Just like I is now, just like I is.
Now, look here with that chicken so sweet, Chicken!
And gravy five inches deep, Good gravy!
The kind that melts right in your mouth. Great Caesar!
You sleep `til you eat, Loves to sleep.
You eat `til you sleep, Eat, too.
That`s your busy day down South. Busy sleepin`.
You`se lazy, Yeah, I is.
Just natu`lly lazy, Hmmm-hmmm-hmmm.
